What is Matcha?

Matcha and green tea come from the same plant. The main differences are in their production processes and the content of the end product.

Matcha goes through a very unique growth and extraction process. The tea plant in grown in the shade toward the last few weeks of harvest. This protects it from sunlight and oxidation and slows down growth to give Matcha its distinct characteristics and amazing health benefits that makes Matcha one of the planet's most powerful superfoods. 

We then remove the stems and veins from the leaves and grind the leaf material into a fine, vibrant green powder.

Dissolving the powder in hot water creates the tea we love. 

Did you know that Matcha is actually more energising and longer-lasting than coffee?

This is thanks to the amino acid L-Theanine, which slows the release of caffeine and has a calming, relaxing effect.
